Jack you've previously mentioned that the soft tyre's speed would be slightly decreased in the next update. Is this still happening or is the wear rate the only thing changing for softs?

Also, are there any plans to increase the SS speed? They feel slower since the 2nd round of tyre updates and I'm not sure if wear scaling the other tyres is going to bring the SS back into play much.

Looking forward to seeing what difference it makes...as Josh said it doesn't seem like this will bring the ss upto where it should be when used in the right conditions...but will see over the next few days or so

What about 75% races? 

That is clearly explained in Jack's announcement:

Jack

    After the update, 75% duration races will wear at the rate of a "62.5% duration race" on the current scale. In other words, they'll be halfway between where they are now and a 50% race in terms of wear.

Sounds like a good step, I still would like to see restriction on type of tyres for individual races and also force the use of at least 2 compounds per race.

Yes, and add Hyper Soft and Ultra Soft too probably? :P

I hear these suggestions every day, but we are not planning to implement them, not least because if we just copy F1 we are risking copyright infringement and other issues. Also, these kind of solutions are not really solutions, 


Best thing ive ever read here! Props dude

If you have done practice times before the update, will practice times be wiped like you did with the first tyre update?

After upgrade, on iPhone 5s app crash and crash continuosly, and battery drain is terrible


First report we've heard of big problems on iOS. We are working fast to iron out any bugs we can find, but even once we have completed an update, Apple must approve it which can take 2 days.


I have iPhone 5s as well and the app works normally as far as I can tell.

That is a question I hope you answer Jack ... because from my point of view, since the last update or the tires S increased their speed, or the SS tires decreased it ... they did not seem proportionate in the speed-wear ranges ... if the SS will decay in the lap times once they reach 50% of wear as in this update, and on top of that the wear is reduced again, the SS will stop being used because they will not be profitable, and the compounds medium and hard will gain again more prominence of the due .. it is complicated without a doubt to find a perfect version, but it would be a good idea to combine the wear, with the temperature on the track and the current heating system of the tires, that at less to me is the only thing that I liked in the last update ... we went from not pushing anything with SS in many circuits to be able to use the thrust in almost everyone and that really was something very good ... good luck with this new update !! I hope a lot of your work, you are a great team! regards

Promising changes..can't wait to race them from tomorrow :)

Gut instincts does say SS will need a touch more pace..perhaps 0.100s - 0.200s a lap with the new 100% scaling, but I'll wait until I race them, before making a definitive judgement.

Again, great work by all the DEV team...keep up all the great work :-)

I tink that with higher tyre whear, we will reduce the number of strategies.
Now it will be less used the ss.

A solution for that, would be to make even fastee the ss tyre. So it will last less but will be very fast. So some players would use this strategy.

Also a very wierd thing is that, the car is very fast when it has less fuel. I supose it is about the weight of the car. But is to obviosly. The weight counts too much.
But the weight of the driver counts?

I hope to see more than 3 tire compounds.

Would be good to maybe update pit stop times too, to help vary strats. Surely the times are out of date, they have been the same for a while


I I agree with the mandatory use of 2 different tyre  compounds per race!

The Soft tyres will not be made slower and Super Softs won't be made faster in this update. We will see what impact the wear change has first. I seriously considered slowing Softs down a little but I have seen Mediums used successfully a few times in my own league, so I thought it might be best to wait and see before making more changes to them.

The changes today are only those listed in the original post. As I said there though, we're happy to tweak this on an ongoing basis until we get to a sweet spot that the majority are happy with.

Although there is some debate about *how* we get there, only we have all the data in front of us. We know the reasons we are not playing with the temperature ranges on the tyres and they are technical. We cannot mess with those until everyone has adopted 3.0 or later of the app - for technical reasons I highlighted when we first started making changes. In future tweaking we may well begin adjusting the temperature range of each tyre as well as pace and wear.

Yes, I will wipe all practice laps from the last 2 days so everyone can run their laps again.

  • It was on the home page and announced more than 24 hours in advance

  • It was also explained that races would not be postponed as no downtime was required

  • I provided an exact number to help you calculate the difference in wear rates of the tyres for your league

  • Lastly, I wiped practice laps for your race 30 minutes before it would start (to give you time to run new practice laps with the new update)



What should have been done differently? I would like to understand your frustration so we can avoid it in future.

If you would like to re-run your race you can request it here:

Okay, we're going to roll back this change and re-launch it in a couple of hours under the same conditions (practice laps will be wiped again etc.). In the meantime we're going to investigate the server that is running the new code to find out why it isn't behaving.
